2009 Ford Fusion Complaint Log

GOING DOWN A ROUGH BUMPING ROAD, HIT BRAKES AND BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR. NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS REAL SOFT AND SPONGY. BRAKE PEDAL GOES ABOUT HALF WAY BEFORE EVEN APPLYING BRAKES TO THE WHEELS TO SLOW CAR DOWN.

I WAS ON AN ON-RAMP GOING ABOUT 25-30 MPG IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. AT THE LEFT BEND IN THE RAMP I HIT A SMALL POTHOLE THAT ACTIVATED THE ABS. THE BRAKE PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE BRAKES HAVE NOT GONE BACK TO NORMAL PRESSURE. THE PETAL IS TOO SOFT. I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES FOR EVERY SLOW DOWN.

TAKATA INFLATORS I AM TRYING TO REMEDY A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I BOUGHT MY CAR THAT I AM UNABLE TO DO SO BECAUSE THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PROVIDING THE NEEDED EQUIPMENT OR PARTS. IN THE RECALL DESCRIPTION IT SAYS THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE PASSENGERS COULD BE KILLED, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MYSELF OR MY YOUNG SON AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH SUCH ISSUES? PLUS, APPARENTLY THIS WAS FIRST AN ISSUE BACK IN JULY OF 2016, SO I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHY THERE ISN'T A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE YET. *TR

AFTER A HARD STOP THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY SPONGY AND TRAVELS ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. IT HAS CREATED A NEED FOR INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO THE MECHANIC WHO SAID IT IS AN ABS SYSTEM PROBLEM. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE ABS HAS BEEN REPLACED. THE FIRST WAS AT 44,000 MILES AND THE SECOND AT 102,000. IT IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR AND COULD HAVE HAD DANGEROUS RESULTS DUE TO ITS FAILURE.

WHEN MY ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED MY BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR AND THE IT TAKES AN EXTENED PERIOD OF TIME TO RECOVER

I BEGAN TO BRAKE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES INITIATED SOON AFTER LIGHT BRAKING PRESSURE. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES CONTINUED FOR APPROXIMATELY 300 FEET WITHOUT THE CAR SLOWING DOWN. THE VEHICLE PROCEEDED THROUGH A RED LIGHT NARROWLY MISSING TRAFFIC. AFTER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING OCCURRED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS LESS RESPONSIVE AND THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES CAME ON WHEN APPLYING REGULAR PRESSURE. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES WORK LESS EFFECTIVELY THAN WHEN THE BRAKES DO NOT USE ABS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO APPLY THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO NOT INITATE ABS FROM OCCURRING.

ON MANY OCCASIONS OVER APPROXIMATELY THE LAST 20,000 MILES (HARD TO TELL HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN GOING ON AS IT HAS BECOME A NORMAL OCCURRENCE) BRAKES BECOME TEMPORARILY NON EXISTENT AFTER ABS IS ENGAGED FOR ANY REASON ON BOTH WET AND DRY SURFACES. PETAL MUST BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR AFTER SUCH INCIDENTS OCCUR IN ORDER TO STOP VEHICLE AND THEN REQUIRES EXTENDED DISTANCE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. SINCE THIS PROBLEM HAS BEGUN OCCURRING BRAKES HAVE BECOME SOFT AND ALL STOPPING REQUIRES PETAL TO BE PUSHED TO FLOOR AND HAVE TO ALLOW EXTENDED DISTANCE TO STOP. HAVE HAD THE SAME MECHANIC FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND HE HAS REPLACED ROTORS, PADS, CALIPERS, ETC AS REQUIRED AND SAYS THERE IS NO AIR IN BRAKE LINES. HE HAS CHECKED ALL BRAKE COMPONENTS AND ADVISED THAT HE RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. AFTER HEARING THIS I BEGAN TO RESEARCH THE PROBLEM ONLINE AND CAN'T BELIEVE THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS OUT THERE. I HOPE FORD IS GOING TO STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A BRICK WALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED AND DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.

ABS BREAKING. AFTER A HARD BREAK ON A GRAVEL ROAD THE BREAK PEDDLE IS SOFT. I HAVE TO PUSH THE PEDDLE TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO GET A RESPONSE. THERE ARE NO DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS ON. THIS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE, BUT IT CORRECTED ITSELF AFTER IT SET FOR THE BETTER PART OF A DAY.

BRAKE PEDAL STOPS WORKING. GOES TO THE FLOOR. CANNOT STOP! AFTER PUMPING BRAKES, RETURN TO NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS!

AFTER MY ABS ENGAGED AT 10-15 MPH ON A PATCH OF ICE, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP AT ALL. SINCE THEN, THE BRAKES HAVE BECOME VERY SPONGEY AND IT TAKES THE CAR LONGER TO STOP THAN IT SHOULD.

I WAS APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AT LOW SPEED (20-15MPH) ON A RAINY MORNING ON CITY STREETS. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE CAR EFFECTIVELY (THE CAR SLOWED BUT DID NOT STOP AS IT NORMALLY WOULD HAVE IF THE BRAKES WERE FUNCTIONING NORMALLY). AS A RESULT, I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AND HIT (AT LOW SPEED) ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE THAT HAD THE GREEN LIGHT. THERE WAS MODERATE DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES BUT NO PERSONAL INJURIES.

I HAVE HAD BRAKE FAILURE 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR ON MY 2009 FORD FUSION. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, IS SPONGY, AND EXTREMELY HARD TO STOP. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN CHECKED BY OUR MECHANIC AND HAVE FOUND NO APPARENT PROBLEM. TODAY, 1/15/17 IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR. SHE HIT THE BRAKES HARD BECAUSE A CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF HER AND THEN THERE WAS ALMOST NO BRAKING POWER. AFTER RESEARCHING I'VE FOUND THAT THERE MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS BEING FAULTY. I RECENTLY HEARD A NEWS REPORT THAT THERE MAY BE A RECALL DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IN THE MEAN TIME, WHAT AM I TO DO TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING OVER A BUMP AT 40 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE VEHICLE DELAYED IN RESPONDING.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, ADVISED THE CONTACT TO CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE DEALER, AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT DIRECTLY TO NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

TAKING RECALL FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY

BRAKE PEDAL GOES EXTREMELY SOFT AFTER THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ENGAGES. IT CAN STILL BRAKE, BUT I HAVE TO PRESS THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN, TOUCHING THE FLOOR AND STOPPING DISTANCE MUST BE GREATLY INCREASED. STAYS THIS WAY FOR 24 HOURS OR MORE. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN THE LAST 4 MONTHS ON A BUMPY ROAD, GOING AROUND A CURVE, WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND I NEEDED TO BREAK IMMEDIATELY. IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 10-15 MPH OR LESS. AFTER THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE BREAK SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AND FLUID FLUSHED & REFILLED. THIS DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

DOOR LATCH REFUSED TO CONNECT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. *TR

BRAKES FAILED AND BOTTOMED OUT ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD

TAMARA RECALL

AFTER A SLIDE DOWN AN ICY HILL WHERE THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED THE BRAKES BECAME SPONGY AND PEDAL TRAVEL INCREASED SIGNIFICANTLY. IT FELT LIKE THERE WAS A DELAY IN BRAKE ACTIVATION. AFTER SOME ADJUSTMENT IN BRAKING METHODOLOGY, THE CAR FELT SOMEWHAT DRIVABLE. HAD MY FIRST BRAKING NEED, AFTER THE ABS APPLICATION BEEN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION I BELIEVE I WOULD HAVE STOPPED IN THE INTERSECTION NOT ON THE STOP LINE.

Y 2009 FORD FUSION HAS NEWER BRAKES FROM JULY 2015. AFTER THE ABS BRAKES GO OFF WHEN GOING OVER GRAVEL OR WHEN HITTING ICE - THE BRAKES SEEM TO JUST GO OUT- THE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR AND EVENTUALLY STOPS. I USUALLY PULL OVER AND PUMP THE BRAKES AND THEY EVENTUALLY RETURN TO NORMAL. I'VE HAD CAR TO DEALERS IN MICHIGAN AND COLORADO AND THEY CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. ONLY HUNTINGTON FORD IN MICHIGAN DROVE THE CAR BUT FOUND NO ISSUE. NO ONE HAS TRIED TO ENGAGE THE ABS BRAKES. I DO NOT DRIVE ON ICE AND CAN NOT SAFELY TAKE THE CAR ON THE FREEWAY, SO THIS HAPPENS EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS ON CITY STREETS.

WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE ON SOME LIGHT ICE TO MAKE A TURN IT LOCKED UP ON ME AND WAS UNABLE TO COME TO A STOP... SINCE THAT INCIDENT I HAVE SOFT SQUISHY BRAKES , TO STOP IT GOES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. , I HAVE HAD BRAKES CHECKED OUT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM.. SAID IT WAS THE ABS SYSTEM NEEDING TO BE CHECKED OUT AND THAT FORD IS AWARE THAT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE ON THIS 2009 FORD FUSION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO STOP AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 54,000.

2009 FORD FUSION ABS ISSUE THE FIRST ISSUE WITH THE ABS OCCURRED ON WET PAVEMENT. THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED QUICKLY SO I HAD TO BRAKE HARD. THE ABS KICKED IN, MY BRAKES LOCKED UP AS I STARTED SLIDING SIDEWAYS AND THEN I LOST ALL PRESSURE IN MY BRAKES. AFTER I RECOVERED CONTROL OF THE CAR, I STILL HAD NO PRESSURE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL UNLESS I PUMPED THE BRAKES MANY TIMES BEFORE TRYING TO STOP. AFTER CONTINUING MY DRIVE AND PUMPING THE BRAKES ALONG THE WAY, THE SYSTEM FINALLY CORRECTED ITSELF. THE SECOND ISSUE OCCURED A FEW WEEKS AGO (JAN 2017) WHEN I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. THE INTERSECTION HAD A FEW SLICK SPOTS REMAINING AND AS I WENT TO STOP, THE ABS KICKED IN AND I LOST THE ABILITY TO STOP ALL TOGETHER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE BRAKES HAVE NEVER RECOVERED FROM THIS EVENT. MY STOPPING TIME HAS INCREASED TREMENDOUSLY AND I HAVE TO PUMP THE BRAKES MANY TIMES BEFORE I EVEN TRY TO STOP. I HAVE AN APPT TO HAVE THE ABS CHECKED OUT.

UNDER STOPPING SOMETIMES BRAKE PEDAL WILL GET SOFT AND BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR MAKING CAR HARD TO STOP. THIS HAS BEEN NOTICED AFTER ABS SYSTEM HAS ENGAGED. THIS CAR HAS 88K ON THE ODOMETER.
